We recommend La Diada Castellera de Sant Magí, on August 19 at 12.00 in the Plaza de «les Cols» in Tarragona.

The Castellera de Sant Magí Day is one of the most important of the season for the Xiquets de Tarragona, La Joven de Tarragona, the Xiquets del Serrallo and the Castellers de San Pedro and San Pablo. The stairs of the Cathedral and the Calle Mayor are filled to the brim to enjoy the constructions of the four formations of the city.

On the outskirts of the city we also find important Roman remains such as the Aqueduct of les Ferreres or the Arco de Bará, a monument declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco in 2000.

Tarragona offers a varied and typical Mediterranean and seafood cuisine, based on natural ingredients complemented by olive oil and wine.
